Notes on Saw Blades
BLADES BREAK FOR FIVE
PRINCIPAL REASONS
1. Too much tension or too little tension on the blade.
2. Overworking the blade by feeding the work piece too fast.
3. Twisting or bending the blade by feeding the work piece
off-centre.
4. Over use, the blade has reached the end of its useful life.
5. Maximum cutting depth 50mm and exceeding the depth for
which it was designed.
Selecting the right Blade
The scroll saw will accept a wide variety of blade widths and
thicknesses. The width of the blade, the thickness of the blade
and the number of teeth per inch (TPI) are determined by the
type of material and size of the radius being cut. Here are
several examples:
Blade storage
TPI WIDTH THICKNESS MATERIAL
10
2.8mm
0.11”
0.5mm
0.020”
Medium curves on 114” to 1-3/4”
wood, wallboard, hardboard.
15
2.8mm
0.11”
0.5mm
0.020”
Same as above, plus wood
1/8” to 1-1/2” thick
18
2.4mm
0.095”
0.25mm
0.010”
Extra thin cuts on soft woods
to 1/4” and parquetry
As a general rule, select the narrowest blades recommended for
intricate curve cutting and widest blades for straight and large
curve operations.

3. Place a 90˚ degrees square
behind the blade and check its
perpendicular with the table. If
adjustment is required adjust
the pinless blade until correct.
